Boy's name Winston??

I am 32 weeks pregnant expecting a boy and still no idea on name.

We are now thinking Winston Lancelot Jasper. Crazy?
My husband wants two middle names to start with L and J as he and our DS both have. Anyway, I am not too fussed about middle names.

My personal shortlist now is:

Winston
Theodore
Alastair

Arrgghh.. I am so frustrated with all this name picking and none of the names really feel totally right..
Any suggestions or opinions on our name list?

Winston is fab.
But you know you just might get people who think saying it in a faux Jamaican accent is amusing.

Winston is cute! It does make me think of geriatric Jamaicans though.

I think Winston is very cutting edge, name wise. I like it. I think Winston Jasper Lancelot has a better ring to it than WLJ.

Like Alastair and Theodore too.

Love it. It was on our shortlist too (but DS didn't look like a Winston when he was born). I think it's fab, go for it!

I love it! Never thought of it before!

Its actually a really nice name, Winston, but it makes me think of Winston Silcott, unfortunately.

I love Winston and the middle names give him lots of options

Winston is a great name, strong, cool and classic.

Middle names never get used, so choose whatever you like, especially if they're family names.

I love Winston! It was first choice if DD was a boy, followed by Raymond, Eric, Cecil and Abel.
